Like to keep aquarium as natural as possible for Discus.
I do 1/4 water changes every other day with aged peat water.
Currently have five discus with one angel and numerous tetras.
My discus may not be show quality,but they are happy and healthy.
Three of which were rescued from people who didn't know how to keep discus.
When I saved them,they were not in good health.But all is well...hope you enjoy!

Welcome to SD. Nice setup there. I hate to be a spoiler, but at least two of the discus look quite sick (thin, dark color, clamped fins). If it was me, I would put them in a hospital tank, monitor and eventually treat them. Letīs see what more experienced people will say.

I agree nice setup but are those artifical plants in the right corner? Definately have enough air moving through it. I agree with discusBR. There is one in particular in the far background that looks really dark, maybe the quality of video but looks dark to me. What are your water parimeters and how often do you do WC? Do you use co2?
